Wallet Portfolio Overview
Auditors need a comprehensive snapshot of client holdings:
- Multi-Chain Support β Track assets across Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, and other chains.
- Wallet Aggregation β Consolidate balances from multiple wallets for a complete picture.
- Asset Categorisation β Identify stablecoins, native tokens, NFTs, and other holdings.
With modern APIs, auditors can fetch this information in real-time, reducing manual data gathering.
Asset Tracking (Stablecoins, Native Tokens, NFTs)
Tracking every asset is critical for accurate verification:
- Stablecoins β Verify peg stability and value across all wallets.
- Native Tokens β Include cryptocurrencies like ETH or BNB in audits for full exposure assessment.
- NFTs & Other Tokens β Ensure non-fungible and multi-token holdings are accounted for where relevant.
Transaction History & Reconciliation
Auditors must reconcile on-chain activity with client records:
- Immutable Ledger Verification β Confirm that all transfers, receipts, and settlements match internal records.
- Cross-Chain Reconciliation β Ensure activity is accounted for even when assets move between chains.
- Time-Based Analysis β Review transaction history across periods for reporting and compliance purposes.
Compliance & Audit
Auditors also need to evaluate regulatory compliance:
- AML & KYC Checks β Verify the legitimacy of counterparties and transfers.
- Transaction Flags & Alerts β Identify suspicious or high-risk transactions.
- Regulatory Reporting β Generate reports for tax authorities, internal compliance, or client audits.
Dashboard & Reporting
A centralised dashboard helps auditors visualize, analyze, and document findings:
- Portfolio Insights β View asset allocation, risk exposure, and balance summaries.
- Audit Trail Documentation β Maintain clear records of verification steps for review.
- Custom Reports β Export data in formats suitable for internal or external audits.
Leveraging modern tools allows auditors to spend less time on manual verification and more time on high-level analysis, risk assessment, and reporting.
Key Takeaways
- Accurate portfolio tracking and transaction reconciliation are essential for auditing stablecoins.
- Stablecoins provide predictable, verifiable data but must still be assessed for compliance and risk.
- Dashboards and APIs streamline verification, reduce errors, and support audit readiness.
- Auditors can integrate these tools without changing their core audit methodology.
